This blog is meant to act as a catalyst for affecting a more equitable and inclusive culture in the STEM fields. I envision (at least) four different types of posts: (1) journaling my learnings while reading the text Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class: The Sociology of Group Conflict and Change by Joseph F. Healey, (2) detailing my journey through STEM, (3) highlighting eloquent articles in the field and detailing my reactions to them, and (4) providing simple ways in which the dominant group can help foster a more equitable environment for all.
